We are getting ready for a 3 week or month long exploration. Late September departure. We would appreciate any suggestions for things to see along the way. Our first leg:
- South central Idaho, then around the west end of the raft river range, where my dad grew up (he will be 100 in less than a month). It will be interesting to explore places he lived when young.
- Thence to the Ruby Mountains and the ruby lake wildlife refuge. We got a glimpse of that this spring on an overnight. Looking forward to getting to know that area a little better.
-Then by way of Cathedral Gorge SP, we will head to Escalante, from which we will take the Burr Trail and Wolverine loop. The ferry is out of commission at Bull frog, due to low lake levels in lake Powell, so we will take the long way around north east to the Cedar mesa area. Lots to see and do there. Will also go over to comb ridge which has so many interesting archeological and geological sights.
- Considering making a run up to beef basin. What do you think? Is it worth the trip? Thinking of heading there through Monticello and then NW to Beef Basin Road. Never been there so your suggestions and comments would be helpful.
Those are the highlights planned. Who knows what will really happen though?
Thanks for any tips.
Happy travels,
Tony
